A Correct answer
Explanation

Article 61(2) specifies that when the President is to be impeached, the charge must be preferred in either House of Parliament (Lok Sabha OR Rajya Sabha). It does NOT require both houses simultaneously or a specific house. After the charge is preferred by one house, the other house investigates. The 'either house' phrasing gives flexibility to initiate impeachment.
